Please wait until we finish the new architechture although this repo works fine.

New repo

Poketab Messenger is a temporary chat application that allows users to create and join group chats with up to 10 people. The app utilizes a unique key system to ensure privacy and security, as users can only join a chat by using a key generated and sent by the server.

To build the production version:

1. Type npm run build to compile all frontend javascript code to a single js bundle.
2. Type tsc to compile all typescript code into javascript
3. Commit
4. Deploy You cannot use the link outside your local network. To access from outside your local network you may use ssl tunneling or port forwarding. But that is very complex to setup. You can use ngrok instead or other similar solutions.
